  • Such compositions include dicalcium phosphates, peroxides, percarbonates and the like such as disclosed in, for example, U.S. Patent Nos. 5,256,402; and 5,824,291.
  • surfactants including non-ionic surfactants
  • Such surfactants are disclosed, for example, in International Publication Nos. WO 92/06160 and WO 95/33034.
  • the use of non- ionic surfactants in laundry detergent compositions is known to improve the effectiveness of such compositions against greasy/oily stains.

  • Most preferred for removing stains is a coated gum wherein the stain removing agent is at least in the coating.
  • the chewing gum composition of the present invention includes gum base and most of the other typical chewing gum composition components such as sweeteners, softeners, flavorants and the like. At least one stain removing agent is employed in the present invention which is selected from anionic and non-ionic surfactants.

  • the amount of the stain removing agent which may be employed in the confectionery compositions of the present invention will vary over a range depending on, for example, the type of confectionery composition and the particular individual or combination of stain removing agents which are employed. Generally, the amount of stain removing agent used in the confectionery compositions of the present invention will exceed the amount of the stain removing agent employed for the chewing gum composition for a particular stain removing agent.
  • the stain removing agent for confectionery compositions will be present in an amount of from about 0.2 to 20% by weight based on the total weight of the confectionery composition.
  • the preferred amount of the stain removing agent is from about 3 to 15% by weight.
  • Samples 1 and 2 of the chewing gum compositions identified in Table 1 were prepared by conventional methods.
  • the gum base was heated to sufficiently soften the base without adversely affecting the physical and chemical make up of the base.
  • the molten gum base and the filler were then added to a mixing kettle.
  • the sugar alcohols, glycerin, flavor, high intensity sweetener and stain removing agent were added with mixing to obtain a homogenous mixture, with the stain removing agent added last.
  • the mixture was then discharged from the mixing kettle and rolled and scored into a desired piece size by conventional techniques.
  • Ace K mixtures "Sodium stearate/palmitate @50/50 Gum cores were prepared by the same conventional methods as in part A herein.
  • the molten gum base and the filler were added to the mixing kettle and mixing was commenced.
  • the sugar alcohols, glycerin, flavors, and high intensity sweetener mixture were added in portions with mixing to obtain a homogenous mixture.
  • the mixture was then discharged from the mixing kettle and formed into cores by conventional techniques.
  • the cores were placed into a coating pan and broken into individual pieces as necessary.
  • a sugarless solution containing 70% by weight of maltitol, as well as titanium dioxide, gum arabic and water was heated to between 70° and 80°C.
  • the solution was sprayed onto the gum core pieces in layers and allowed to dry between sprays while the coating pan was continually rotating to ensure a smooth even coat of the gum cores.
  • the coating was built up to about 8% by weight of the final pellet weight. Ace-K was then added and then covered with another layer of the above- mentioned coating solution and then allowed to dry.
  • a 20% solution of the stain removing agent identified in Table 2 was prepared by heating water to between 65° and 75°C and then slowly adding the stain removing agent. The solution was mixed under low agitation to avoid foaming until a clear solution was obtained. The solution was maintained at the same temperature for the entire coating procedure.
  • the solution containing the stain removing agent and a flavorant were added in alternating layers until all of the respective materials were added with each layer being allowed to dry before the next layer was applied.
  • the coating process continued with the coating solution until the coat comprised 24% by weight of the final pellet weight.
  • Gum cores were prepared by the same conventional methods as the slab gum in part A herein with the stain removing agent being added last. The mixture was then discharged from the mixing kettle and formed into cores by conventional techniques. The cores were placed into a coating pan and coated as in Part B herein with the exception that the application of a stain removing agent-containing layer was eliminated from the process.
  • Chewing gum Sample 6 as prepared as in Example 1 , was tested in an in-vitro mechanical chewing model. A commercial whitening pellet-type gum containing sodium bicarbonate was used as a control. The gum samples were masticated by the chewing machine, which contained stained bovine teeth on the chewing surfaces to simulate the top and bottom teeth in a human mouth. The samples were chewed for five minutes. The bovine tooth samples were read with a Chrom-A-Meter before they were placed in the machine and after a simulated one week of chewing (28 doses). The color change is then determined by calculating the DE value. All of the stain is then removed from the bovine tooth samples and read again with the Chrom-A-Meter. The percent stain reduction is then calculated. The results are presented in Table 4.
  • the test shows that Sample 6 provided a reduction in the occurrence of staining after the test period when compared to a commercial tooth whitening gum.
  • Test I Sixty individuals were divided into 4 groups of 15 individuals each. Group I received no treatment. Group II received the chewing gum composition of Sample 3, and Group III received the chewing gum composition of Sample 5 while Group IV acted as a control and received the commercial pellet- type tooth whitening chewing gum containing sodium bicarbonate mentioned above.
  • Samples 3 and 5 provided a reduction in the occurrence of staining after the 4 week test period when compared to no treatment group and to the commercial pellet-type tooth whitening gum containing bicarbonate mentioned above.
  • Test II Two hundred individuals were divided into 4 groups of 50 individuals each. Group I received no treatment. Group II received the chewing gum composition of Sample 3, Group III received the chewing gum composition of Sample 4 while Group IV received the chewing gum composition of Sample 6.
  • a 2000 batch of a composition for forming a pressed mint product in accordance with the present invention is prepared in the following manner.
  • Sorbitol 98.0% by weight, 0.5% by weight of silicon dioxide, 0.3% by weight of a flavoring agent, and 0.7% of Aspartame are mixed for two minutes in a blender until a homogenous mixture is obtained.
  • Sodium stearate 0.1% by weight is added to the mixture which is then blended for four minutes. The resulting mixture is then formed into individual pressed tablets in a conventional manner.
  • Sample 1 The procedure set forth in Sample 1 is repeated except that the amount of sodium stearate is increased to 0.5% (Sample 2) and 3.0% (Sample 3), respectively with a corresponding reduction in the amount of sorbitol.
  • the pressed tablets produced in accordance with Sample 4 and the control example were tested to determine their ability to remove stains from hydroxyapatite disks.
  • Deionized water 400 ml was heated to and maintained at 37 ⁇ C under a stirring with a stirring bar operating at 300 rpm. Two stained hydroxyapatite disks were suspended in the water. The test mints were dropped into the water and allowed to dissolve. As soon as the mints were dissolved the disks were removed from the test solution. The procedure was repeated for varying mint weight/dissolution times. The disks were read before and after treatment with a Chrom-A-Meter and the difference was calculated. This procedure was repeated using deionized water alone and the difference calculated between before and after treatment. The test samples were compared to the control sample and to the water as a control and the % difference in stain reduction was calculated. The results are shown in Table 9.
